Chitwan Jungle Tower Overnight

About this tour

This is not a hotel night. You sleep in a basic wooden tower above the forest with mattresses, nets and a guide, and spend the evening listening for deer alarm calls, owls and anything moving below.

You walk in during the late afternoon and walk out at dawn, which is often when animals are closest. Facilities are simple, so it suits people who are comfortable without electricity and a private bathroom.

Bring a torch, warm layers in winter and a sense of adventure.
